As Enzo and Caroline pulled up outside the club, he stepped out of the taxi and gave Caroline her hand as she followed him out. Everyone was already inside, the two stood outside for a moment looking at the place and Enzo wore a look on his face that said he wasn't expecting this, I mean he wasn't the normal club going type, but this place didn't seem so bad. The music was loud and could easily be heard from the street, and it wasn't the normal atrocious dance music he hated, it had a kind of an indie rock vibe. Enzo looked down at Caroline with an impressed look on his face, impressed that her friend had chosen somewhere semi-tolerable. Caroline looked up at him and smiled.

"Ready for this?" She asked while giggling.

"As I'll ever be sweetheart." He smirked back down at her.

"You do know Elena will probably interrogate you. And cool it with the pet names, people might think we're dating." Caroline said teasingly as she walked forward leading the way into the club.

Enzo grinned as he sauntered along behind her,

"Whatever you say gorgeous." He teased as they disappeared into the building.

Caroline soon caught sight of Elena sitting in a booth on the far wall of the club. The place was quite busy but she could still see through the crowd easily. Elena caught sight of Caroline and Enzo walking towards and jumped up in her seat waving her arms. Caroline smiled as she approached Elena's excited reaction but noticed the bartender guy stefan and who she assumed was his brother's eyes went straight to Enzo, Caroline looked round to see him sauntering over towards the brother with his arms open and a smile on his face, the two of them were looking at Enzo with an expression what said 'what the hell!?"

Elena jumped up and hugged Caroline tightly, she already seemed a little buzzed.

Elena pulled away holding Caroline at arms length.

"My god Caroline you didn't tell me he was so hot!" Elena said in shock looking over her shoulder in Enzo's direction.

"God don't say that he might hear you, don't want his head to explode" Caroline said as she rolled her eyes and laughed.

"Don't be silly he'll never hear me from over there he doesn't have super hearing!" Elena laughed.

Caroline smiled to herself in secret appreciation of the fact that he actually did have super hearing, and he was probably listening. Although he looked pretty wrapped up in his conversation with the two brothers in the booth, hugging and laughing, they'd obviously not seen each other in a long time.

"Come on sit down, you've got some catching up to do!" Elena smiled as she walked with Caroline to the booth.

Caroline took a seat between Enzo and Elena in the back of the booth, Elena introduced Caroline to her friends from the café, a girl called bonnie and a guy named Matt, they seemed really nice and Elena was laughing away with them drinking their weight in tequila, she got the feeling they had the same fun loving nature as Elena which was perfect for her. Caroline and Elena were chatting away to her new work friends for a few minutes and exchanging pleasantries when Enzo tapped Caroline on the shoulder.

"Caroline, you've met stefan, this is Damon Salvatore."

"Hey blondie." Damon said looking at Caroline with some sort of suggestive look, it kind of looked like he was trying to flirt with her, maybe he was just a bit buzzed too, she laughed and said hey without the same flirtation.

Caroline looked at stefan who had his eyes locked on Elena as Enzo and Damon were talking and laughing, he looked slightly worried, maybe because another vampire had just come in and he was worried someone might slip up to Elena, he knew Damon was already a risk, but now Enzo too, he was just as bad. He didn't even know that there were in fact four vampires now in the room, Caroline was sure Enzo would fill him in sooner or later.

"Right.." Enzo said rather loudly to be heard above the music, "drinks anyone?!" He said rubbing his hands together and glancing at Caroline with a mischievous grin.

He seemed to be enjoying the night more than her already, wasn't he the one who wasn't looking forward to it. Enzo was just so relaxed and didn't let much bother him, he was certainly more relaxed than Caroline who felt stuck in the middle of all this vampire tension and wanted to enjoy herself and she decided she wasn't going to let anything ruin her buzz, she had been a bit excited for tonight, more than she'd let herself admit anyway, and she decided to follow Elena's lead and get ridiculously drunk.

Everyone in the booth cheered "yeah!" In response to Enzo's comment, including Caroline. Enzo Looked to Caroline who was laughing with Elena and smiled to himself. He, stefan and Damon all headed to the bar which was within view of the booth, behind where Caroline was facing. Caroline glanced over the shoulder and seen the three standing with their backs to them, she pulled her hair behind her ear and concentrated to hear their conversation above the music.

"Hey, Elena doesn't know we're vampires so just don't say anything okay, trying to live a normal life here." Stefan said quietly, to Enzo she presumed.

"Relax stefan, I'm not interested in ruining you're little pretend human life mate." Enzo laughed.

"Okay just make sure you don't, I like her." Stefan said.

"she's going to find out eventually brother" Damon said. "And what's going on with you and goldilocks anyway, didn't peg you for the girlfriend type, last girl I saw you with was Maggie."

"Well stefan I'll keep your secret if you keep mine, she's a vampire mate, and I like her aswell." Enzo said turning his attention from stefan to Damon as he said the second half of the sentence.

Caroline smiled as he said he liked her.

"You gotta be kidding me." Damon laughed.

"And she knows you two guys are too just so everyone is caught up, but don't worry she's not gonna blow your cover Stef." He laughed.

Caroline stopped listening, she was satisfied that everyone was well informed, because that was of course the only reason she listened in, not to see what Enzo would say about her. Caroline was happier now that the tension of who's a vampire and who's not had gone away, and she was in a good mood, she visually relaxed and decided to get drunk.

The guys returned with enough drinks to quench an army, Caroline distractedly thought about how much they had paid for all this, but then thought they had probably compelled the bar staff, she smirked to herself. She looked at the guys and Damon and stefan gave Caroline a knowing look and a smile, they looked like they had relaxed a bit now too now that everyone knew not to mention anything about vampires.

Everyone reached in to the table and grabbed a shot of tequila and had a toast

"To new friends!" Elena shouted, looking in Caroline's direction before her eyes wandered over to Stefan's giving him a flirtatious look.

"I know you were eavesdropping." Enzo leaned into Caroline's ear and teased her before he sat back in his seat and placed his arm across the back of the booth behind where Caroline was sitting.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Caroline muttered playing innocent as she looked over her shoulder at him with mock surprise.

He beamed back at her and threw his shot back.

As the night continued everyone grew more comfortable with each other and drinks began to flow, maybe it was the alcohol talking but Caroline in that moment was entirely happy with her new life here, she had met a great bunch of people and for the first time in what seemed like ages she was actually having a good time and was totally relaxed. If meeting Enzo didn't make her feel better, she certainly felt more comfortable having met two more vampires, the amount of loneliness Caroline had felt in the past weeks had been crushing her, and the horrible thoughts she now had about herself were horrible, she thought she was a monster and her head was filled with so much confusion, but now there were others like her that weren't so bad, they actually seemed really nice, although she didn't know stefan and Damon that well right now she would get to know them, she only had eternity right? And Enzo, she had never met anyone like him human or otherwise, she was growing totally fond of him and as she thought of her eternity she smiled to herself knowing she would have an eternity to get to know him as well. Wow definitely the alcohol talking Caroline thought to herself, Caroline was the kind of soppy drunk who loved everyone.

The drunken group started to move around and bonnie and Matt had gotten up to dance, stefan had just left Elena's side to go and get some more drinks and Enzo was deep in conversation with Damon at her side, his arm still over the back of Caroline's seat while he leaned in the opposite direction to talk to his friend. Caroline took the opportunity to hop over and talk to her new friend Elena.

"Hey!" Caroline beamed as she sat down next to Elena with a jump.

"Bet you're glad you came out now, this has turned into such a good night!" Elena beamed while Downing another tequila shot, she could gold her drink pretty well Caroline noticed.

"I thought it might have been a bit awkward with you're new boyfriend and the guys but they've been talking all night, do they know each other?" Elena asked genuinely curious.

"Yeah Enzo told me he and Damon are old friends and he knows stefan through him too." Caroline informed her.

"Well that worked out perfectly, what are the chances of that happening." Elena said with a laugh. "So what's going on with you and Enzo? I've seen the way he's been looking at you all night" Elena raised her eyebrows

"Nothing's happening.. wait really? he's been looking at me?" Caroline said giddily and let out a nervous giggle.

"Well yeah he can barely keep his eyes off you, what do you mean nothing's happening? You've kissed him right?" Elena said expectantly.

Caroline looked at Elena nervously, not giving an answer but her face said it all and Elena knew, they both laughed.

"Caroline! What're you doing he's gorgeous! You have to fix this soon!" Elena demanded while still giggling.

"Shut up! I'll do it eventually, just seeing what he's like." Caroline defended herself.

Caroline was lying to herself, she knew she liked him and had thought about kissing him on a few occasions, the truth was she'd been so happy to not be all alone being a vampire, and if it didn't work out she might lose him and go back to being all alone again. All things considered Caroline couldn't deny her feelings for him were growing quickly and she decided to take a chance and take Elena's advice, she had to fix it soon.

Stefan returned with more alcohol and the two were immediately wrapped up in each other once more, they looked really good together, and although he was a vampire, his comment at the bar from earlier telling Enzo he liked her filled Caroline with some confidence, so she decided to give him the 3rd degree some other time about his intentions with her new best friend, Caroline had only known Elena for a short time but it felt like they had known each other for years.

Just as Caroline got up to move back over to her seat and leave the happy couple alone, the song changed and one of Caroline's favourite songs started to boom over the sound system.

*the Arctic monkeys – do I wanna know*

Caroline turned to Enzo and their eyes met, she lifted her arm and pointed at him..

"You! Let's dance I love this song!" Caroline invited him, very un-Caroline but after her recent decision she decided to go with it.

Enzo waved his hands in front of him from side to side while he mouthed the word 'no'

"I am not nearly drunk enough for dancing love." He laughed.

Caroline walked towards him and grabbed his protesting hand and dragged him towards the dace floor, he didn't protest as much as she thought he would, he only needed a small nudge, but that was only because he'd do anything for Caroline.

The two found a spot on the dance floor and Caroline spun round to face him. Enzo's eyes were firmly fixed on her, if Enzo was pushed any further he might just have to grab her and kiss her right here on the dance floor.

Caroline moved to the music, in her drunken state she didn't care what anyone thought and she just enjoyed her song. Her hips swayed from side to side and she looked extremely sexy. Caroline knew she was a good dancer and was aware of the fact that Enzo couldn't take his eyes off her now. Caroline reached up and swung her arms round Enzo's neck as the two of them danced together, laughing and laughing. Caroline noticed that with a drink in him Enzo was less inclined to respond to every word with a sarcastic comment, and seeing him without his sarcastic front up so high Caroline was thoroughly enjoying his company and the fact that the two could laugh together so easily. Enzo grabbed Caroline's hand and spun her round and she laughed as she returned her hands to his shoulders.

Caroline listened to the lyrics like she had many times before, they seemed quite appropriate for the situation she thought and she laughed to herself.

"I'm sorry to interrupt,

It just I'm constantly on the cusp

Of trying to kiss you,

But I dunno if you,

Feel the same as I do..

We could be together, if you wanted to..

Do I wanna know.. If this feeling flows both ways.."

The two were getting caught up in the dance and it was like no one else was in the room but them. Enzo's eyes were locked on Caroline's and hers were locked on him. She could hear his heart beating fast in his chest and was well aware that hers was too, Caroline gulped down with nerves and noticed Enzo's eyes had dropped to her lips, the tension between then had been growing since they first met.

Caroline knew she should have kissed him, this was the moment and she might just have done it, except the song they were so caught up in came to an abrupt end and they both noticed. In the brief moment of silence between that and the next song they both noticed each other's heavier breathing and loosened each other's grip on the other, making light of the situation they both laughed, Enzo knew she was interested, the uncertainty was gone it was just a question of when now more than if, and Enzo was a patient man he could wait for her to be ready.

"Come on gorgeous, let's get another drink." Enzo said sweetly taking her hand and leading her back to their seats.

Caroline mentally scolded herself for not kissing him, she chickened out, but now that she had decided she was going to, the anticipation was building, it was just a matter of when.

Drinks continued to flow throughout the night, Enzo and caroline were growing more and more comfortable around each other, maybe it was the alcohol, but it seemed that the pair had let go of their inhibitions and let their hair down for a night. Everyone was growing drunker and drunker as the night went on and the group laughed and laughed. Caroline had even had herself a little chat with Damon and Stefan and gotten to know them a bit better, stefan seemed like someone she could really be friends with, Damon was full of quick comebacks and sarcasm but in a way Caroline was learning to find more amusing than offensive, she knew deep down he seemed nice too, she remembered Enzo saying earlier that stefan was the more boring of the two, she didn't agree he was boring at all, but definitely the safer choice of the brothers to date on Elena's part.

As much as Caroline was enjoying herself, she was starting to feel a bit tired and also wanted a bit of alone time with Enzo, which was proving to be impossible with everyone here. Enzo still sat beside Caroline with his arm parched on the seat behind her, he would occasionally make eye contact with Caroline amidst the talking and laughing around them and give her a flirtatious wink, to which Caroline was growing to enjoy more and more, not that she reciprocated in any way, but she did catch herself smiling to herself when she thought he wasn't looking at her, but he was always looking at her.

Before long, Matt had left, elena and stefan were staring into each other's eyes like teenagers, and bonnie had been talking to Damon for the past 15 minutes which surprised Caroline, he didn't seem like her type.

"Well it seems that all the love birds are branching off and leaving us on our lonesome, how about another drink goldilocks?" Enzo asked with that smile, that smile that did things to Caroline.

Caroline shook her head "no I think I've had my fill" Caroline laughed as she looked round at Enzo.

Then her face changed to something different. Enzo's did too, trying to contemplate what she was thinking. Caroline had had a good night but was sick of the loud music and tequila shots, she wanted to leave all the happy couples be. Caroline looked at Enzo, and he looked back at her, Caroline's face was more serious now, she didn't want to play along any longer.

"Take me home." Caroline whispered, a small sentence that projected so much possibility.

Enzo gulped, though his facial expression never faltered, he could feel the shift in energy between them in that moment, and his expression stayed dead serious.

"As you wish sweetheart." He said in that low husky way, his eyes still locked on hers.
